Chapter 33: Letter to Mi Cai

Today I was invited to Sanya to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of a tourism project. In the afternoon of the same day, I flew back to Shanghai from Sanya. I stopped by to the hospital and prepared to see Jian Wei who was still receiving treatment.

This time, I didn't see Jian Wei in the ward, but in the small garden next to the hospital square, she was sitting in a wheelchair. Mo Zishi pushed her slowly on the stone path to enjoy the blooming of summer flowers. The afterglow of the sunset fell on them, making the whole world look casual and worry-free. This scene made me feel a little reluctant to disturb...

So, I sat on the bench by the roadside from a distance, watching some people walking hurriedly under the street lights, and some people were contented...

I had nothing to do, so I took out my phone from my pocket and opened the game called "Longyou Tianxia". However, I did not contact the super R player named "Tianya Commander". I just understood the playability of this game in all aspects as a player, and recorded the results of my experience in detail in the notebook, and then compared it with the same type of games developed by my company... In fact, there is still some gap between our game and this game that has been successfully operated for more than a year, but we still have a lot of time to adjust and even surpass... I don't believe that the top development team brought back by the boy from abroad will lose to the development team that Longyou Tianxia who occasionally creates several game bugs.

When I raised my head, Mo Zishi had already pushed Jian Wei to me. He smiled and asked me, "Why are you doing so attentively?"

I put my phone back in my pocket, looked at Jian Wei, whose complexion had improved a lot, and then replied: "I don't want to disturb you when I see you walking in the garden, so I just play games casually."

Mo Zishi nodded, and then everyone was silent for a while before I asked again: "Can Jian Wei not get down to walk now?"

Mo Zishi replied: "You can definitely walk, but after sleeping for so long, she is too weak and it is not suitable to walk down the ground immediately!"

This time, I nodded, and then there was another silence. Jian Wei seemed to be disgusted with this silence and said to Mo Zishi: "Doctor Mo, can we go for dinner? Today you have promised me to go for pasta. I don't want to eat any liquid foods that don't taste at all!"

Mo Zishi smiled and turned to me and said, "Go together, I'll treat you."

"How can I ask you to invite me? I'll do it..." As I said, I also noticed Jian Wei's expression. She obviously rejected me. Only then did I realize that I had completely lost my impression in her awakening life. How could she welcome me, a "stranger" who unexpectedly came?

I quickly smiled and changed my mouth, saying, "By the way, I remember that the company still has some urgent matters that I need to go back to deal with. Now I have to rush back to Suzhou. You can eat. I will invite you next time I have the chance."

Mo Zishi seemed to have noticed Jian Wei's rejection of me. He did not try to keep me anymore. After saying a few more words to me, he pushed Jian Wei to the door of the hospital... At this moment, I saw the last ray of sunshine scattered on their shoulders in the dusk, which was so harmonious... But, I seemed to have seen some profound mistakes in this harmony, but I didn't know where the mistake was. Who made the mistake first between Jian Wei and I!

Or, in some scenery where things change, there is really no need to care about who naively loves whom, and who has hated him angry!

......

Summer nights always come later than winter. When I return to Suzhou, the sky has just darkened, and it is already 7:30... This time is fatal to me, because I always see couples showing their unchanging love in different ways while eating. So, I have been going to Huifang Hotel to stir-fry two side dishes, drink a few bottles of beer, and then listening to the novices who have just entered the workplace talking nonsense after drinking, and it is not so dull!

Even though I have been to Huifang Hotel very frequently recently, I have never encountered Fang Yuan again. He seems to be like me, and will only eat here for a period of time in certain specific situations without continuing like this.

After ordering the dishes, the boss's wife used a beer bottle to put a plate of mosquito coils under my feet, and said to me with emotion: "Zhaoyang, you and Fang Yuan used to be wearing pairs of pants, but now you have never seen you come together. He liked to come some time ago, but this time it was changed to you."

I poured a glass of beer for the boss's wife and signaled her to drink with me. Then I smiled and said, "We don't work together now, we are all busy with our own things, so we can't meet each other!"

The boss's wife drank a glass of beer happily and replied: "I know Fang Yuan is now the general manager of the big shopping mall opposite. What about you, how are you, who is not enterprising, doing this?"

"Aunt Huifang, is it really that important who can do better?"

The boss lady ignored my doubts and replied as if she was talking about the truth: "In this society, isn't it better to be the one who can do better in this society? Otherwise, why would you young people get up early and go to school for more than ten years?"

The boss’s words are a bit rough, but the reason is not rough at all. We have been studying hard for so many years, and we are definitely not going to waste our lives in society. People will definitely be compared. So sooner or later there will be a good or bad between me and Fang Yuan, which has become our destiny!

.........

After my favorite fried river clams were brought up, I started to move my chopsticks and ate them. The cold beer then moistened my heart and lungs on this dry summer night. I couldn't help but smack my lips and enjoy the pleasure brought by the coldness.

After a glass of beer, the boss lady who delivered the food suddenly smiled at someone behind me. It was not until she called Fang Yuan's name that I realized that Fang Yuan was here. Although I had eaten at Huifang Hotel for so many days, this was the first time I met Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan and I had not met completely yet, and the boss's wife had already enthusiastically put together the table for us. At this time, we could only put together the table with me, because this small restaurant was already full the moment before.

Fang Yuan sat down opposite me, and then ordered a jelly with the boss's wife, which was his favorite dish when drinking beer.

There was no need to hang some emotions on my face too obviously. I handed him a bottle of beer that had not been opened, but he did not refuse. He bit the cap with his mouth like before, then filled his cup with his glass, and after signaling to me a little, he raised his head and drank a glass of beer clean. I then drank the remaining beer in the cup.

This time he spoke first: "I heard from Dr. Hong that Jian Wei has woken up, but her memories of the past are very confusing. Is it caused by hyperbaric oxygen treatment?"

"This is the case."

"It's good...at least it's a new beginning. We all know that although she is a woman who takes up all the favors in the world, she doesn't live happily, just like a kite with a string that seems to fly, but her fate is controlled by others... Now she is really free!"

I know that most of Jian Wei's pain over the years was caused by me. How could I feel without guilt, and then pour the glass of beer as if it were cathartic, and drink it all over again... If we had known that it was the ending now, maybe we wouldn't have chosen to meet it at the beginning! But if this was a false proposition of talking nonsense, we would have already made love bloody outside of the ifs! So those who have seen our love think that this is the best result now...

In my silence, Fang Yuan asked again: "What are Jian Wei's plans in the future? Will she still go to the United States?"

"She has not fully recovered her ability to take care of herself yet, and it is not practical to go to the United States...I think she will recuperate in China for a while before making plans."

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Well, let her go back to Suzhou... The environment of the sanatorium here is very good, it is very suitable for physical recovery. The dean and I have a good relationship. Say hello and he will make the best arrangements for Jian Wei."

"I won't bother you with these things. I will arrange them all for her..."

Fang Yuan’s chat ended here. After drinking the bottle of beer I gave him, he checked the bill and left. I left afterwards, and then threw some emotions that were not clear in the Huifang Hotel and walked alone on the street leading to the old house.

Night! It became deeper in the hustle and bustle of the streets again...

......

Shortly after returning to the old house, I received a call from Zhang Yixi and his wife, saying that they would start their post-marriage honeymoon trip from Shanghai tomorrow and come to Suzhou to see me, a lonely man.

A moment after the phone call, the three of them came to the old house. The naughty child of Pipi broke a pot of flowers on the coffee table as soon as they met. Zhang Yixi scolded him very much, but Anqi was very pampering and said that being active was the nature of the child and blamed Zhang Yixi for being too troubled. When I saw them noisy, I felt indescribable envy, and I didn't know when I would have a naughty child like Pipi, and then quarreled with Micai because of educational differences...

On the sofa, Pipi was lying beside me, saying "Uncle Zhaoyang" on the left, and "Uncle Zhaoyang" was shouting, the purpose was to let me teach him to play a fighting game. While teaching him fighting skills, I talked with Zhang Yixi about the current operation of the "Legendary and Art Road". An Qi, as always, did not interfere with Zhang Yixi's career, and stood on the balcony as if she was avoiding her eyes watching the flowers I raised.

As an investor, Zhang Yixi was very satisfied with the strong recovery of the literary and artistic road recently, and talked to me about the second round of investment. In this conversation, we ignored An Qi and Pipi...

It was not until Pipi knocked over another pot of flowers that my communication with Zhang Yixi stopped temporarily. While cleaning up the broken flower pot, Anqi complained to me: "Zhaoyang, why are you, a big man, raising so many flowers at home? If a child accidentally breaks the flower pot, how dangerous these fragments are!"

I replied with a lot of laughter and cry: "How many children do you think have the destructive power of your son?...No, it's not destructive power, it's destructive power...!"

Zhang Yixi took Anqi's words again, and he said, "I think Zhaoyang raises these flowers to express his longing for Mi Cai..." As he said, he said to me, "Brother, I really think it's too difficult for you. It's not only the body but also the soul that you hold on to is so persistent!"

My mood suddenly became lowered and I didn't say anything for a while...

Zhang Yixi turned to Anqi and asked, "Aren't we going to Los Angeles this time? We just happened to visit Mr. Mi at the headquarters of Xinlu Energy!...... Zhaoyang, if we meet Mr. Mi, do you have anything to convey to her?"

I suddenly found a way to fill the gap that caused by Mi Cai's departure. I hurriedly signaled that I had something to ask them to tell me, but I felt that there was something I could not finish, so I said to Zhang Yixi: "I'd better write her a letter. If you can find her, please help transfer it to her."

"This is a good method, you can write it."

I immediately found paper and pen from the room, leaned on the coffee table, and wrote under the gaze of the family of three: "Dear! Please forgive me for being so called this, because there is a ring between us. I have been repenting for this matter for a long time, so I have endured all the loneliness caused by your departure without any complaints... Yes, I am very lonely! I really miss you so much, and I want to go to the United States to find you countless times, but when we parted on Mochou Road, you gave up these impulses and forced myself to become rational, because I had a premonition that my irrationality may cause you some trouble. I don't want to be the man who is unwilling to obey you. In fact, you have to be more visionary than me! ... Do you know

?The convenience store outside the old house was demolished last month. I was sad for a long time because the pair of Trojans we had been riding together. And, and... Last week, I picked up a gray cat downstairs. I don’t know what breed it was. I raised it for a few days, but I was so busy that I gave it to my new friend Lao Li. Lao Li is a very interesting old man. He can make chopped pepper sauce and raise a lot of pigeons. Speaking of pigeons, I am really worried about him. I hope that what I gave him is not a very greedy cat... By the way, if you can receive this letter, you must remember to reply to me and use that kind of colored paper, because I also like color now. Remember to tell me whether you have lived there and have a meal on time..."

As I wrote this, my pen suddenly stopped, and my heart felt sour. I didn't know how to continue to express my extremely worried mood... Finally, I handed this letter that was only half written to Zhang Yixi. If Mi Cai really had a good understanding of me, she would definitely feel my concern for her in these ordinary words...
